Trees for the City Program
The Trees for the City program has been suspended and will continue in the Spring.
Williamstown’s "Trees for the City" Program encourages residents to plant trees for the esthetic and environmental benefit of the community. It is a joint effort between the City and the Residents of Williamstown. To participate, residents must purchase their own trees and the City of Williamstown will assist residents in site preparation.
The background of the project is to promote tree/shrub plantings within our City limits by assisting our citizens with utility line locations prior to plantings, as well as City
employees digging the holes for the plantings.
Please find below the process of the Tree Program:
- The Property Owner will complete the Response Form indicating how many trees/shrubs (with a maximum of 3 being allowed) that they would like to plant and return the Response Form to the City Building.
- The Tree Committee and the City will review the Response Forms and contact the property owners on the location of where the items will be planted.
- The utility departments will be notified of the properties and will be asked to meet with the property owner to make sure that the proposed planting locations will not interfere with any above/underground utilities.
- Upon approval of the planting locations, the Street Department will be notified of where to dig the holes for the plantings.
- The property owner will be responsible for purchasing the trees/shrubs, for physically planting them, and for filling in the holes.
Desirable Trees are hardy trees the Tree Board recommends for our region.
